Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 317 The Birth of a Game Career

"Excuse me, sir, do you know about GBA?"

"GBA? ... oh, you mean the upcoming handheld, right? Of course I know, how can I not know about such interesting things?"

On a very prosperous street in the United States, a TV reporter and a videographer randomly interviewed people on the street.

With the popularity of GBA gradually increasing, especially after the GBA was first released in Japan, some unboxing evaluation videos have appeared on online video platforms. People in the United States are naturally looking forward to those beautiful games.

And just in the few days before the release, the reporters are also very keen to take this opportunity to grab the heat.

The reporter took the microphone and aimed at a young man on the road and continued to ask questions.

"Then are you ready to buy this latest product?"

"Sure, because it's the most fashionable thing, and it's not expensive at all."

"Are you interested in other handhelds of the same type? For example, Suri's handhelds, or Lierda's handhelds."

The young man looked blank: "Ah? What are those?"

"That's right. Youxing Electronic Entertainment is not the only handheld console. In fact, you can experience other companies, and the quality of the games is not bad." The reporter explained patiently.

"Is that so..." The young man still didn't quite understand.

He can only be regarded as a player who has just been forcibly pulled in by the heat. Before that, he didn't even have a game console.

And the previous play experience was all obtained from friends.

He also only knew about Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

"Hey, don't listen to this reporter's nonsense, other game consoles are garbage, not worth mentioning at all."

At this time, the friend around the young man cautiously pulled his companion.

Americans are not short of money, even if they really spend more money to buy a few more than $100 game consoles, it is not a big problem.

But buying a bunch of rubbish is also adding to your heart, so why bother yourself?

The reporter was embarrassed for a while, and it was obvious that his Amway had failed.

So he immediately changed his strategy: "It's true that the game consoles of other companies are not very good now, but the game industry is also promising in the future, and it can't always be the dominant one, right?"

"I don't know, anyway, all I know is that it's just right to buy Yuxing Electronic Entertainment now."

The young people who were interviewed at first still didn’t quite understand what was going on, and the interview ended abruptly.

The reporter then asked several passersby on the street in succession.

After all, there are still a few people who really understand the whole picture of the game industry, but some people really listen to his Amway and are ready to try other game consoles.

The game console release time difference this time is very short, so short that there are not many opportunities for other game consoles to take advantage of.

However, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's real 3D graphics game console has not been officially released yet, and many manufacturers have started to think about new game consoles.

If it is just to make a game console that can run 3D games, even a pseudo 32-bit game console is enough.

Use two rubbish 3-bit chips to forcibly pull up the frequency and let them run [-]D graphics forcibly, which can save money and fool novice players.

In the United States, many developers have paid more attention to the game console itself, or the entity itself of the game cartridge.

There are still very few people who really value content.

Because the United States has always been a country that attaches great importance to physical assets, even if the Digital Millennium Copyright Protection Law has been introduced, it still does not pay enough attention to the quality of software itself.

On this point, people in some industries have also put forward their own opinions, hoping that companies in the United States can adopt it.

However, most game development companies and game factories in the United States are still subsidiaries of large companies.

No matter what the attitude of the above companies is, they must have the same attitude. Even if they want to focus on the cultivation of game quality itself, it is difficult to give game developers higher treatment.

At this point, the once-popular small game development teams have made a lot of money because of it.

At the beginning, they took advantage of the chaotic era of game development in the United States to make all kinds of cheap pirated and high imitation games.

Many of the pirated high-copy games they developed at that time directly took the code of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment and reused them.

Even if Zhu Youxing reacted extremely quickly in this regard, and quickly used the lawyers' team and other forces to attack these teams, many of them still made a lot of money.

Some people have even achieved financial freedom in just a few weeks, which can be said to be a very crazy time.

However, this chaotic era did not last long, and these small teams gradually came to an end because of the mature game market.

The main reason is, of course, that Youxing Electronic Entertainment is suing everywhere like a mad dog.

None of these teams at that time had clean hands, so naturally they were all on the right track.

In the end, these people hid and hid. It was not until the US government came forward to sanction Yuxing Electronic Entertainment that they popped up again and began to give pointers. They felt that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment was about to die, and their era came back again.

However, before they were happy for a long time, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment turned them all over with a brand-new game console.

This group of people is gradually getting a little desperate, and some are even ready to give up the video game industry.

Originally, they were just some guys who got together to make quick money because of their interest. Although their game development experience increased, they were a little nervous.

Seeing that Youxing Electronic Entertainment is about to become bigger and stronger, and then look at some of the previous street interview programs, these people are ready to change careers.

However, at this moment, a person appeared.

He is the former CEO of Lilda, and his name is Huck Brown.

He is more or less a little legendary figure, and Lierda was founded by him alone.

However, his fate was the same as that of Red Fruit Company's Myron Keith, who was kicked out of the company he founded.

But someone like him, who was chosen by the day, would never easily admit defeat because of one or two setbacks.

Unlike Myron who hates the game industry, he really likes the video game entertainment industry.

Before the advent of video games, Lierda, which he founded, has become a small local snake in the physical electronic toy industry.

Then, taking advantage of the east wind of video games, he took advantage of the trend, and he was able to gain a firm foothold through Lierda's two game models.

It's just that he didn't expect that his several violations of high-level strategies would cause him to be directly kicked out.

And this time, he wants the king to return. He wants to really create a company that only belongs to him, like a company like Youxing Electronic Entertainment. The first thing to do is to recruit people, those game developers who used to develop junk games. became his target.
